I've found something .... in my basement!!! :) Thinking about where I
got it, I realize that this must be "real" pneumatic tubing. It is a
clear blue color, with the inner diameter slightly smaller than the
Lego type, and the outer diameter a bit more smaller than the Lego
type, also it is a bit stiffer, but for "air transportation" (long
stretches of tubing) it is absolutely perfect. I would reccomend
looking for industrial tubing in order to find it.

Regards John.

Has anyone located a source or specifications (material, ID, OD) for the
Lego pneumatic tubing? I find that the lengths provided with the standard
sets is inadequate for some of the models I am building, and I find Pitsco
prices a little daunting.  My local hardware store does not stock tubing
that has the small inner and outer diameter and the flexibility of the
Lego tubing, only some rather thick polyethelene tubing for acquariums that
does not work for Lego, and some vinyl tubing which is all too large.

If anyone has found something, I would appreciate a URL and company name.
